Description
Hi.. we are an active outdoor family team and have recently moved to Galicia. It’s a beautiful area with lovely coastline, walks, hikes, fishing, surfing etc.. we are hoping to find someone who loves the outdoors. We brought the property last year and it is a bed and breakfast. It is a big area to upkeep and there are many tasks to do to update, upkeep and make it guest ready. Amongst jobs such as painting, gardening and cleaning, I would love someone to teach me Spanish (whilst we work or a lesson a day)!! Anyone that is independent (preferably 25 or over so you could drive our car (we are remote, we also have bikes), in return we can give your own en suite room, food, good vibes and a fun family environment!! Full use of the house and pool. We have a lovely dog and 2 cats.
We are in a great location to explore, just 25 minutes from Pontevedra city.. 60 minutes from Santiago de Compostela, surrounded by nature in a small hamlet.. local bar and shops just 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk..
Spanish or English can be spoken. Stay in a beautiful area with many hiking trails, rivers and close to many areas/attractions in Galicia, Pontevedra. Fitness classes and good healthy cooking are on offer (I am a personal trainer, nutritionist, husband is a chef) and kids offer free entertainment and games, Luna the dog offers a walking companion. :)

I truly enjoyed every second i spent with this lovely family…
I helped with preparing breakfast for their guests and with some work around the house - but mostly I had a lot of time to enjoy their ‘little’ paradise and explore the beauty of Galicia.
Thank you so much for… read more
